and when you’re out there…

without care, yeah I was out of touch…
I really must be outside of the time-space warp.  So – I thought I could forgive myself for flopping the KPFA internship interview, since getting the gig would have drawn a lot of time and energy off the writing of the book.
But then I tried to go to latihan [...]

the universe keepin’ me in Line..

It was so weird and discomforting… but mercifully it only lasted for a few moments.  Today was March 1.  After attending the KPFA First Voice apprenticeship program, I was HELLA juiced – moreso than before – about the program.  It was probably most, if not all, of the training and experience I would have gotten [...]

I’M full of s**t?

My upstairs neighbor, who I was hoping was single, turned out not to be.  Big Joe is in the picture.  Oh well.   I hugged her in front of the building before what she was telling me about her cats – and the way they came back with fleas after running away – could really sink in.  [...]

here comes the rain again

wish I had something fall down exciting to talk about right now.  We’re well into February and I haven’t heard back from any of the song contests I’ve entered or film and television submissions I’ve done.  It looks like Dara (my upstairs neighbor) already has “joe” in the mix.  Put an ad on craigslist and [...]

and my hero of the moment is..

Sir George Martin, producer of the Beatles albums.
I was at breakfast the other day reading this shocking book: Dirty Little Secrets of the Record Business, by Hank Bordowitz.  The Buddhist liberation stuff is a bit too heavy for me in moments – both figuratively and literally (the book is pretty massive).  So this time I [...]

nothing lost, nothing gained?

Tonight I had the intention to be in attendance at a spiritual men’s group I was invited to by a gent I met at an encounter group – Vinay (what’s up, Vinay).  I was actually quite excited by the prospect of seeing what these fellows were talking about.  I’ve been sensing a need to have [...]

what a trip…

I did a fair bit of drinking last night at my brother’s show.  My musical colleague and homie DJ Collage was in town.  My best friend called me while I was at the show to invite me to two parties that were going on.  This morning I was contacted in email by somebody I hadn’t heard [...]

momentous revelation

A couple of nights ago I was thinking about the way nobody I sent my email to asking for input in developing my new philosophy responded specifically to my request.   As I lay, typically twisting and reshuffling the pillows, my mind began racing toward a conclusion I now see was forgone… I have to write a book.
As [...]

eclipse ‘is own effourts (hint, heavy brit accent)

There is a solar eclipse at the Aquarius new moon on the 26th January and a lunar eclipse at the full moon on the 10th February in Leo.  Eclipses have a tendency to intensify situations and bring hidden energies to the surface. It is wise to avoid making major decisions or starting new projects just [...]

more than just a presidential inauguration

These last days.. well really 2009 so far, has been one solar blast after another.  Hanging out with Nene was one moment of respite because of her youthful energy.  But when she, my brother, cousin and some others got back from the club I was supposed to attend with them and let me know about [...]
